Carnera was 270 lbs professional athlete, he could kill a man accidentally with arm punch, WTF?

That is quite a bold statement.

There are men in the top ten who have never stopped a ranked contender, and men who have mediocre KO%s.

You probably have to consider the possibility that Carnera hit harder than them, or at least had something that they didn't!

 

Yeah, sure - Carnera sucked. I'm sure you'd beat him in sparring.

 

What I am saying, is that I could get your Grandam a high KO%, if I matched her timidly enough.

How many of these men actually stopped somebody who was ranked in the top ten at the time?

 

There are men in the heavyweight top-10, who haven't competed professionally with sub-200-pound men, either.

 

Only because they haven't met the better ones!

Lets face it, Evander Holyfield at 199, could have cleaned out most of our top ten.

Perhaps all of them?

 

Holyfield would have beaten Carnera, too.

 

He did though, that's why he stopped so many opponents - including large ones which were easier to find.

 

Spot on my friend.

Do you think Loughran would tear through today's Heavyweight top-10?

 

Honestly, I think that he would win some and lose some.
